Economic anxiety is not why Trump was elected.

Title is incorrect.

Actual post is correct except for the word "irrational".

Whites don't dislike Hispanic immigration because Hispanic immigrants are brown, whites dislike Hispanic immigration because they are expected to pay for Hispanic immigrants. Middle class whites (and middle class people of all races) are taxed to pay for programs for immigrants, programs they themselves are not eligible for because they're "too rich". People who are struggling economically don't want to be taxed to pay for services for other people with whom they have little in common beyond being human. Middle class desire not to be taxed will only increase as the middle class becomes a smaller and smaller percentage of the population and needy immigrants become a larger and larger percentage of the population.

Stop.

It's true though.

Literally every interaction I've had with Trump supporters is the same. It's anecdotal, sure, but I've dealt with many, my family is made up of many, and they all seem to be a carbon copy of one another.

They hate immigrants, full stop. They try to play coy by saying they love legal immigrants, but that facade falls apart when they try to interact with someone who can't speak English. I've seen it happen over and over.

People who immigrate to the United States should speak English. Why is this considered offensive?
